    What convinced me Shaughnessy was a douche was his unrelenting insults toward Schilling. Now I know Schilling is a guy who could rub people the wrong way, but Shaughnessy would call him the Blogboy, or the Big Blowhard, in every freaking thing he wrote about him.

    Unfortunately statements like that are just waiting to get picked apart. I might be able to hit a 90 MPH fastball once out of 50 swings. But I could probably never kick a 40-yard field goal. I'm not trying to be a smartass but like I say statements like that can usually be picked apart.

    On the offensive side, Salty and Shoppach could be a very good platoon. Salty was 247/304/481 against RH with 11 HR and 18 2B in 243 AB. Shoppach was 241/344/444 against LH with 7 HR in 108 AB.

    We could use some extra help with all those dumpster boys.

    Cafardo has a pretty interesting piece this morning about some of the changes Valentine is instituting in the spring training programs.

    Exactly. Let's give the man his chance.

    Who did Beckett blame for what happened on the field?
  10. Bellhorn04
    My guess is he's probably done talking to the media about this stuff now. We'll see.

    But when he wasn't talking about what happened last year he was getting reamed for that. Now he sits down and gives his view of what happened and he gets reamed for being outspoken.

    People need to read the other stuff that's in the interview too. He talks about how happy he is, how he loves the city of Boston and the fans etc. If you try to take in the big picture, Beckett comes across to me as a very honest guy. He gives a lot of detail about his conditioning and why he gained weight and stuff like that. He's not nearly as sour as people are trying to make him out to be.

    Props to Jason and hey, why not some props for Dan Duquette for stealing VTek and D-Lowe from Seattle. One of the best moves in the organization's history.

    As for the 13 wins last year, it should have been 18 easily. He got lousy run support, it was just bad luck. When you throw 193 innings with a 2.89 ERA for the best-hitting team in baseball, it's bad luck to only win 13 games.

    I just read the excerpts from the interview with Beckett on the WEEI website. Beckett seemed most upset about the snitching that related to Francona. Most of the stuff he said seemed positive to me.

    Adding to the conundrum with Crawford is his poor numbers against lefties. 262/308/375 lifetime and 195/249/317 last year. I wonder if Bobby V would consider batting him in different spots based on the starter. Or if he's more interested in fixing his swing.
  22. Bellhorn04
    I think you're actually touching on one of the reasons Theo may have been so eager about acquiring Crawford. Having a team that is built for Fenway has often meant having a team that is lousy on the road. I think Theo believed that Crawford's speed and defence would make this a better road team.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Yes, it will be.
  24. Bellhorn04
    I'm sure the genius Bobby V can figure out this lineup stuff without breaking a sweat.

    Gotta correct one thing there Fred. In 2009 when Ellsbury when struggling they tried Pedroia at leadoff. He hit 219/287/333 in 116 PA and they got him the hell out of there. Pedroia made some pointed comments about how batting leadoff changed his hitting approach and how he had trouble adapting to it.
